Vaccination efforts are proceeding in partnership with University Health and the Wonderland site. Dr. Bob Leverence is leading that on behalf of UT Health. Elective surgeries have temporarily been halted, which he described as painful because it causes patient and financial distress but is necessary due to the recent COVID-19 surge in the city. UT Health has started the recruiting process of several basic science chairs: Pharmacology, Microbiology, and Urology was recently filled. A clinical trial involving COVID-19 patients hospitalized at University Hospital found that a combination of the drugs baricitinib and remdesivir reduced time to recovery, according to results published in the New England Journal of Medicine. There are six co-authors of the publication because of University Health’s sizable patient enrollment in the trial. The principal investigator is Thomas Patterson, MD, professor and chief of infectious diseases in the Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine at UT Health San Antonio.
